Wilson curve‘s features in Tunisian population
Objectives: It’s an experimental study about Wilson curve in order to define its characteristics and evaluate its evolution with age in a Tunisian population
Methods: The study population is divided into two groups: the toothed control group with 50 Youngs and 10 adults, and the experimental group with 10 partial edentulous patients. The curve is estimated by a radius at each sector with different radii templates.
Results: Data were analyzed using JSPSS software .
The mean of the radii of the Wilson curves is 37.9 mm at the first premolar , 57.81mm at the second premolar, 140.3mm at first molar and 81.68mm at second molar for the control young group.Standar deviation are 14.5 , 16.38 ,64.35 ,19.41 mm respectively . For the comparaison between old and young group , we used the one way anova and T test and significance level was set at 5 % (p\0.05) which was significant (p=0) .
Conclusions: The radii of the curves of Wilson increases with age. In the first molars, its shape is inversed and that could be explained by physiological wear. For the experimental group, the curve tends to flatten.
The aging of the Wilson curve must be taken into consideration during prosthetic rehabilitation to ensure the masticatory efficiency and ensure sustainability of support structures.
